Hi all
I will apologise in advance, as I know that this topic has been discussed in the past but I don't seem to be able to find the thread now.
Shortly, I will be reassembling the front guards of my newly repainted '69 DS20. Due to a number of factors, this restoration project is now entering its seventh year, during which time I have moved house twice. As a result, my boxes of DS parts have somewhat been mixed up and I now need to sort out the necessary bits of each component, ie headlight parts from door parts, etc.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of a pictorial parts breakdown and reassembly guide for the headlights and front guards in general, including headlight levelling / turning mechanisms?
When reinstalling the headlight glass into the guard, what sort of sealant, or sealing foam should be used?
Also, the plastic headlight buckets need to be repainted as they have been painted in the past and it is now cracking / flaking and looks unsightly. Can someone suggest the best / safest way to remove the old paint without affecting the plastic, and then respraying? What is the appropriate paint colour for these?
Many thanks
Neil
